Two men arrested in connection with aggravated robbery in Rathcoole
A shop in Rathcoole was the scene of a robbery yesterday evening.
GARDAI HAVE ARRESTED two men following the aggravated robbery of a shop on Main Street, Rathcoole, Co. Dublin, which occurred at approximately 9:30pm yesterday.
Two armed males entered the premises and made threats to staff before taking an amount of cash. They fled the scene on foot and were later seen entering a vehicle.
The vehicle was seen traveling outbound on the M9 in the Kildare area. The vehicle came to a stop when it came off the road and collided with a ditch, with both occupants fleeing on foot.
Two suspects were located and arrested with the assistance of the Garda Air Support Unit and Garda Dog Unit.
A search of the suspects’ vehicle recovered an amount of cash as well as an imitation firearm, a hammer and other items.
Both males, aged in their 20s, were taken to Clondalkin Garda Station and detained under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act, 1984.
They have since been released and a file will now be prepared for the DPP.
